Currently Oyranos has a display node for its image processing graph. It 
fetches monitor regions and profile and corrects to them in a early bound 
and opt in manner. The late colour binding manner is possible through the 
CompICC or any other similiar colour server, again per monitor. The CMM is 
selectable through a icc node in the image processing graph. There is 
currently no API exposed to prefere a specific CMM.

Other device nodes, like for printers, are thought of, but not yet
implemented.

Oyranos colour conversions alias "ICC image map converter" can be used 
in several toolkits.

The conversion is runtime selectable, thats the classic ICC approach for 
pluggable colour matching modules (CMM). The modules API transferes not 
only the ICC data and data buffers, but as well image dimensions and 
provides complete image access. That capability extents the lcms API.
